Such a Find Estate Liquidation, home to quirky and unusual collectibles, will be getting new digs this fall.

The store will be moving from its current two-story house on Packard Road east of Carpenter where it has resided for five years to Colonial Lanes Plaza on South Industrial, known to some in the area as resale row.

Owner Melanie Diana is moving to take advantage of being a part of the loop of resale shops in that area as well as to escape limitations in her current space.

“All the doors in the house on Packard are just 28 inches wide---I literally could not get furniture in through the doors,” she said. “I had to turn away a lot of the high-end furniture I wanted.”

The owner of Such a Find plans to have two final estate liquidations at the Packard location in late September before moving to the new site.

To make matters worse, the store was recently robbed two nights in a row, wiping out their large collection of jewelry.

Although Diana will be moving from 2,200 square feet down to 1,700, she never used the second floor of the house so will actually have more usable space. The new location will also provide room for the eBay work Diane conducts.

Diana’s primary business is managing estate sales, although she also purchases estates in full for those who don’t want the hassle of an estate sale. “The reason I have a storefront location is to liquidate these items,” she said.

Because Diana buys entire estates, her items include everything from linens to jewelry to original artwork to paper goods such as postcards, posters, magazines and books.

“I have a broad knowledge of antique to contemporary,” Diana explains, stressing that they are not an antique store. “I really like to put unusual contemporary décor together.”

Top pieces in the store currently include a Mission style curio cabinet priced at $450 and a set of art nouveau lead glass lamps for $350.

Business is booming for Diana. So far this year, she has completed 37 estate sales and liquidated six estates for her store.

“I have been doing a lot of downsizing sales, where people in their 60s and 70s are moving to Cedars or Glacier Hills,” she said. “They are going from 4,000 square feet down to 2,000 and need to take only 60 percent of their things. These have been fabulous sales.”

Diana plans to have two final estate liquidations at the Packard location in late September, including one from a compulsive shopper. “She shopped at places like Jacobson’s and Hudson’s,” says Diana. “Everything—jewelry, Jones of New York clothes--is still new in the box and with tags on it.” There will also be a store closing sale in October.

The new location will open Nov. 1. Store hours will remain the same, Monday-Saturday 11-6 p.m.
